Abstract
A catalyst for purifying exhaust gases, which is composed of a catalyst substrate, a first porous support layer supporting barium as a NOx-occluding material and palladium, which is formed on the catalyst support, and a second porous support layer supporting platinum, which is formed on the first porous support layer. Platinum efficiently oxidizes nitrogen monoxide to be converted into nitrogen dioxide. Palladium is supported in a highly dispersed state even after endurance to act as inlet and outlet of barium for nitrogen dioxide or the like, whereby absorption and emission of nitrogen oxides can be performed smoothly, and accordingly, the purification performance for nitrogen oxides is improved.
